Meet Devyn Love Jenae | Artist, Healer, Yoga Instructor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Devyn Love Jenae and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Devyn, what do you think makes you most happy? Why?

– [ ] I want to begin my response to this question by making a quick note about mental health. I want to remind everyone that we all experience depression at times , we all experience moments of weakness and no matter how down you may feel – there’s always a helping hand available. So please reach out. I myself struggle with depression and anxiety. I have my whole life. I can be pretty cynical too, I struggle a lot to “be happy”. Some days are really difficult to get through! And this idea that anyone is or should be happy all the time is not realistic ! I think it’s crucial to recognize, remember and be courageous enough to dive into the darkness, to approach our shadow side without fear . This is where, I believe our deepest gifts lie. They just take a little bit of work and uncomfortable reflection to get to , to uncover , but once one has unveiled one of these gifts it is a sense of true accomplishment and happiness a feeling of true connection. That I am so grateful for. For me this is my creative expression . My evolution as an artist and healer. To be happy in my opinion is recognizing that everything within the universe operates cyclically. There will be highs and there will be lows and reminding ones self of this is important. Happiness, much like anger, and excitement is a sense-heightening experience, a fleeting one also. So if you are angry at the moment know that it will pass, and just the same goes for feeling happy , which I hope you find moments of complete bliss daily! Some of the ways in which I achieve these moments are- Pixie, my border-collie, she is the source of many of my greatest lessons learned and the greatest love I’ve known. Teaching Yoga and knowing , seeing, feeling the guidance I’ve given another person is definitely a feeling of happiness for me. I find bliss in Nature, time with family and friends and in knowing that it’s okay to fall down sometimes, that I don’t have to be perfect and that honestly I don’t always have to be happy! Always know and remember your presence is Devine ! Keep growing and Keep Shining!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Recently I decided to rebrand and from this point forward I will use my name to represent my art, yoga and meditation headings, tarot readings , and photography. I think it’s really awesome how my evolution as an Artist /Creator has been directly intertwined with my work as a healer. I have several different skills and talents but they all do have one thing in common and that is that anything I do exists to help people. To inspire and aide others in their own growth and journey toward their highest expression of self. It’s a beautiful experience to see my work help another and that is the purpose behind why I do what I do. My most recent project , which will be released soon has me excited. It’s a jewelry collection. My jewelry is composed of recycled materials, Wire, earthy things and crystals -all of which heal the individual that chooses a piece but also heals the earth! As we learn more about that which helps or hurts our planet I feel a sense of true urgency to shift the materials that I use . It’s important to me to have this alignment within my creations, as well as my artistic voice- this devotion to a cleaner greener future is a key component of the art that I create!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Colorado is such an incredible, beautiful and captivating place to visit and to live. Showing some friends around would include a trip to eat something delicious on Pearl Street in Boulder, where I currently live , Rush Bowls is just one of my favorite places to grab a Fruit and Hemp Bowl on the hill. I’d say a trip to the garden of the gods and Vail /Avon tops the list also!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My Mom and Dad ! My whole family Really. My Friends . My Dog Pixie!
